1Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

2So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

3Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

4Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

6Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

9A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

10But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

11because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

12On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”

14Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

16His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

17The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.

18For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

19The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”

20Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.

22Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.

45He who sees me sees him who sent me.

46I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

47If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.

49For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.

50I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”
